Usually, the default is 64MB for the whole system. This may be insufficient for the total amount of memory used by your surfaces. To increase the amount of memory that can be used for acquisitions, you can use the swiotlb boot option: swiotlb=n where n is the desired number of swiotlb slabs (1 slab = 2KB) Note for x86 Linux with more than 2GB of RAM: Devices that do not support 64-bit addressing must use memory below 4GB for DMA transfers. The 'mem' kernel boot option can be used to restrict the amount of memory used by the OS. For example: mem=3000M
